Fairness in Retirement
Income
Campaigning for a retirement income
system based on principles of adequacy, sustainability, certainty and fairness.
The issue
Retirees, pensioners or self-funded, have always been an easy target for successive governments. Successive intergenerational reports are used to justify budget cuts, changes to pension eligibility and superannuation rules.
What we're calling for
We are calling for a simpler and fairer retirement system that supports older people and helps them to be more self-sufficient in retirement.
Our policies
Our priority polices aim to improve the Pension Loans Scheme, adopt a universal pension and allow pensioners, if they choose, to work without penalisation.
National Seniors Australia campaigned to improve the Pension Loans Scheme (now called the Home Equity Access Scheme).
We were successful in lowering of the interest rate from 5.25% to 3.95%. A huge win for seniors who need a safe way to release their home equity to live a better retirement.
